The October night was very cool. Zhou Chen saw Xia Jie wrapped in clothes and sitting in the courtyard on the first floor, staring at the stars as if in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xia Jie was awakened by Zhou Chen. She tightened her clothes and said, "I'm thinking about my mother. She went to Dali for a trip. I don't know how she is doing now."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "You are really a worried person. You worry about it when your mother is at home, and you still worry about it when she is not at home."
Xia Jie rolled her eyes: "That's my mother, I don't care, who cares?"
"You are right, but have you used the method I taught you before?"
"Well."
Xia Jie looked embarrassed. She had used the method Zhou Chen taught her in front of her master Cheng Hao, but she could never be cruel to her own mother. The most she could do was make a fuss and move out, and there was nothing more.
"You are still too kind, too foolish and filial."
Zhou Chen was not surprised. After spending so much time with Xia Jie, he naturally understood what kind of person Xia Jie was. If she could be cruel to her mother, she would not be Xia Jie.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Li Dawei can do this. Have you ever thought that Jiajia's unwillingness to go back might have something to do with her stepfather?"
The nanny was the first to say: "Sir, he said he is Jiajia's brother and he came to see you, sir."
Zhou Chen sneered and said: "My name is Zhou Chen, and I am not feeling well right now. I am in a bad mood and want to kill someone."
"Then we can't just pretend that nothing happened, right? There's nothing we can do about that scumbag?"
Xia Jie paused and looked at Zhou Chen in astonishment: "How did you guess that?"
"Then I'll go back and sleep first. Don't tell anyone about Jiajia."
Sun Qiancheng wanted to ask again, but Zhou Chen said: "Brother Sun, just listen to him and let him do whatever he wants."
"Zhou Chen, we bought some barbecue outside. You can ask Xia Jie to come down and have some together."
Chen Xincheng was moved when he learned that he was brought back by Li Dawei. Although he had a bad attitude towards Li Dawei on the surface, in fact, he liked Li Dawei as his apprentice very much.
Xia Jie quickly changed the topic: "Why are Li Dawei and Zhao Jiwei not back so late?"
Sun Qiancheng asked curiously: "Even Brother Chen can't handle this. Dawei, can you do it? Also, does Brother Chen know about this?"
"Officer Chen, Li Dawei, what's going on with you?"
"Is Yu Guang here?" Zhou Chen asked straight to the point.
Xia Jie nodded and responded: "Okay, I will find an opportunity to ask."
Zhou Chen stared at Zhao Jiwei and said in a cold tone: "Zhao Jiwei, you have been a policeman for several months, how come you still don't have any sharp eyesight?"
Zhao Jiwei scratched his head: "What's wrong with me?"
The night passed quickly. In the early morning of the next day, there was a knock on the bedroom door. Zhou Chen opened the door and saw that it was Xia Jie.
Xia Jie held a piece of paper in her hand and handed it to Zhou Chen: "Look, this is the portrait Jiajia drew for me. It looks good."
"Envy me? Envy me for being alone? Or envy me for having money and a house?"
"Sir, you are at home. Who are you? What do you want from me?"
"We have no problem, but where are you going?"
He walked quickly to Zhou Chen, stretched out his hand to shake Zhou Chen's hand, and tried to pull it back, but found that he couldn't pull it back.
He also knew about Chen Jiajia's affairs. Although Chen Jiajia had nothing to do with him, when he thought of what Chen Jiajia's stepfather had done, no one would let him go.
Several people worked together to get Chen Xincheng into Li Dawei's room.
"What's wrong, Xia Jie, it's so early."
After finally regaining his balance, Yu Guang yelled at Zhou Chen angrily: "What do you mean, what do you want to do?"
"Okay, have you eaten?"
Zhou Chen grabbed Zhao Jiwei, who wanted to ask more questions, and said, "Let him go, he does things in a measured way."
Xia Jie curled up on the chair, holding her knees with her hands, staring at Zhou Chen.
"good."
"Is it related to Jiajia?"
Zhou Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, we met in the afternoon, and I personally watched you being dragged out of the bar by Li Dawei."
"Jiajia, come here, let me introduce you. This is Zhou Chen. He is a policeman like us. You can call him brother. The house we live in now belongs to him."
Zhou Chen drove straight to Hailuolan and soon found the villa of Chen Jiajia's stepfather Yu Guang.
"It's not bad. I think it's good too. Painting is very promising. Jiajia, you have to believe in our vision and don't go to places like bars again."
Ten minutes later, Zhou Chen and Sun Qiancheng left the police station wearing police uniforms, while Li Dawei took off his police uniform and wore plain clothes.
"Normally if you have anything to say to me, you wouldn't be so hesitant. The way you are now is obviously not your own business."
Zhou Chen and Xia Jie looked at each other and smiled. Naturally, they were complimenting each other on purpose.
Li Dawei was overjoyed and went to find Sun Qiancheng.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Why, you still don't trust me?"
Li Dawei undressed Chen Xincheng and washed his face. It took him a long time to arrange Chen Xincheng, put him on the bed and fall asleep, and then walked out of the room by himself.
"I'm going out for a trip, Zhao Jiwei, Yang Shu, help me keep an eye on my master."
"knew."
"Sir, as far as I know, our Jiajia family does not have an older brother. Who are you?"
The nanny looked confused: "Jiajia's brother? I've never heard of him."
"I am Chen Jiajia's brother, and I have something to do with your Mr. Yu."
Chen Jiajia changed into normal clothes and shouted crisply: "Brother Zhou Chen, we met this afternoon."
Yu Guang suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it, hello, hello."
"Zhou Chen, I really envy you."
The evil intent burst out from his eyes, which startled Yu Guang, who had always been pampered. He shouted in horror: "What do you want to do? Let me go, let me go."
Li Dawei chuckled and said: "Of course my master doesn't know, but I am different from my master. Jiajia is my master's daughter. He is reluctant to use violence, but I am different. Don't worry about it. Help me later."
Just take care of the situation and leave the rest to me."
"Now is not the time to talk about this, Zhou Chen, what do you think we should do, should we tell Officer Chen?" Xia Jie asked.
Zhou Chen was mentally prepared, but when he saw the content of the video, he still frowned and waited until the video played to the end before he spoke coldly.
After Zhou Chen finished washing, Chen Jiajia had already entered the room. Xia Jie stayed in the living room and called him over.
Suddenly, a voice disturbed the ambiguous atmosphere.
As she said that, her palm fell on Zhou Chen's body, but Zhou Chen grabbed her hand and looked at her with burning eyes. Xia Jie was so shocked that her heart was pounding and her eyes were evasive.
In fact, although he can't draw, he still has a good appreciation level. From a simple sketch, you can still see that Chen Jiajia has some talent in painting.
Xia Jie said: "Don't mess around."
With that said, Zhou Chen walked into the door.
Zhao Jiwei is a hard-working man. As long as there is a case for him to do, he will not even sleep. Yang Shu is not so hard-working, but his master Cao Jianjun is hard-working, which makes him have to be busy.
Xia Jie walked into the bedroom, pulled Zhou Chen in, and closed the door.
"It's okay, I can be alone, let's go."
"Leave it to you? What do you want to do?" Xia Jie asked nervously.
Xia Jie also said: "Don't bother, I'll sleep with Jiajia, it's enough, it's okay."
Zhou Chen's face was filled with chills, and the strength in his hand suddenly loosened. Yu Guang, who had been withdrawing his hand, was still exerting force. Zhou Chen's sudden letting go made it impossible for him to take back his strength. When he exerted force, he suddenly stepped back.
He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Xia Jie turned on her phone, placed it in front of Zhou Chen, and then clicked on a video to play.
Li Dawei said: "Stop asking, help me first and take my master to my room."
"Damn, how did you know?"
"Okay, you continue to watch TV, and I'll go in and take a shower."
"There is another room here, do you need me to clean it up?"
"What are you doing?"
Chen Jiajia immediately showed embarrassment. She also knew that it was embarrassing for her to work in a bar, but she had no choice at the time. She could not stay at her stepfather's house, otherwise, it would be worse than working in a bar.
Zhou Chen couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only say vaguely: "Let Jiajia stay with us first, and then you can find an opportunity to ask in a subtle way. She must be working in a bar or something like that when she is so young and never goes home."
There is a reason."
Yu Guang was also surprised. He had lived with Jiajia's mother and daughter for many years, and he had never heard that Jiajia had any brother.
When Zhou Chen returned from get off work in the evening, he saw Xia Jie pulling Chen Jiajia to watch TV in the living room.
Yang Shu waved his hand hurriedly: "It's none of my business, it's him, he said it."
Thinking of Zhou Chen's past style, Xia Jie put her mind at ease. She felt that Zhou Chen was different from Li Dawei and would not make impulsive mistakes.
"Have eaten, Li Dawei ordered takeout."
Chen Jiajia shook her head hurriedly: "No, no, brother Zhou Chen, I want to sleep with sister Xia Jie."
"who are you?"
Li Dawei said: "I'm going to find someone. You can wear a police uniform and bring someone with me to help me stand up."
"Jiajia's brother?"
Yu Guang came downstairs wearing a sports uniform and was about to go for a run. Suddenly he saw a stranger in the house and was very strange.
In the afternoon, Zhou Chen was busy, and Li Dawei suddenly came over with a playful smile and stopped his shoulder.
"Don't worry, why would I waste myself for a scumbag?" Zhou Chen comforted him.
Seeing that she was looking down, Zhou Chen comforted her: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. You didn't do anything wrong. It's just a lack of experience. No matter how you say it, I'm one year older than you and I grew up in the countryside."
Big, very thick-skinned. As for winning the prize, it’s just good luck.”
"Don't tell me, I quite like coaxing you. With your stupid look, I can coax you forever."
Zhou Chen turned around and saw Zhao Jiwei and Yang Shu standing outside the yard.
"By the way, Zhou Chen, Jiajia will sleep with me today."
After Xia Jie returned to the room, Zhou Chen did not sleep. Instead, he stayed in the room for a while, then put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
It was already past six o'clock. I pressed the doorbell and someone soon opened the door. It was an older woman, who must be the nanny.
Yang Shu patted his shoulder and sighed: "Think about it slowly."
"I don't know, but don't ask so many questions now. You can go out and I will arrange my master first."
Seeing Xia Jie walking back and forth in the room, Zhou Chen immediately realized the reason.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Li Dawei's stalking ability is really powerful. Chen Jiajia is just a little girl who has just grown up. How can she be Li Dawei's opponent? She can't defeat Li Dawei. After the tortured job is gone, she can only follow Li Dawei.
Dawei left the bar.
Xia Jie looked confused: "You mean, that man was not nice to Jiajia? That shouldn't be the case, Jiajia is already eighteen years old."
"Zhou Chen, please help me."
Li Dawei looked shocked. He didn't say anything. Zhou Chen could guess right. Can he really count?
"Haha, wait for a few minutes and I'll finish this. You can call Sun Qiancheng by the way. I think he will be fine today."
Xia Jie, who was still in a low mood, turned red when she heard this, and glared at Zhou Chen angrily.
"Zhao Jiwei seems to have a case to follow. I don't know what Yang Shu and his master are doing. As for Li Dawei, I don't know."
Zhou Chen and four others were waiting in the living room. When they saw Li Dawei coming out, they all stepped forward to ask.
"Humph, you can coax me. You are the only one who can claim to be lucky if you get second-class merit."
"Jiajia's mother and stepfather are here today. I don't think that man is a good person. He is very evil and evil. He was beaten away by Li Dawei."
"Sir, what are you doing?"
Xia Jie looked at Zhou Chen with strange eyes. She didn't expect that Zhou Chen could understand her so well, but now was not the time to think about this.
He had already guessed that Li Dawei must have gone to help Chen Xincheng find his daughter.
Zhou Chen sneered and said: "Who said there is nothing we can do against him? Xia Jie, leave this matter to me. You can go watch Jiajia."
"Is it related to your master?"
"Okay."
Zhou Chen and the four of them were eating barbecue and drinking drinks when Li Dawei suddenly came back, and he didn't come back alone, he also brought someone with him. To be precise, he was carrying someone on his back.
Xia Jie replied angrily: "I envy you for your good attitude. We obviously entered the police station together, but you have already obtained the second-class meritorious service, and I still need Master to take care of me, and I often do wrong things. It's really too much
useless."
"Let you go? Okay."
Yang Shu asked in surprise when he saw that the person Li Dawei was carrying was Chen Xincheng.
Zhou Chen glanced at him indifferently, and quickly tapped the computer with his fingers: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Xia Jie was reminded by Zhou Chen and realized that this was related to Jiajia's reputation. Jiajia showed the video to her because she believed in her. If she spread it everywhere, Chen Jiajia would undoubtedly be hurt the most.
The next day, Chen Xincheng woke up and found that he was actually in Li Dawei's room. He was also very surprised. He drank too much yesterday and ended up in pieces. He had no idea what happened next.
Zhou Chen watched Yu Guang slowly walk down the stairs and said, "My house is where Jiajia lives now. Didn't you go there yesterday?"
Zhou Chen said: "You shouldn't ask me. This is Jiajia's private matter. If she doesn't want to tell Brother Chen, if we tell him rashly, Jiajia will definitely be angry. Little girls have strong self-esteem. If she does something when she is angry,
Our sin is great."
Chen Jiajia said shyly: "It's not as good as you say. Brother Zhou Chen and sister Xia Jie, you are too complimentary."
Xia Jie asked: "Li Dawei, what is going on?"
Zhou Chen took it and took a look. Although it was just a simple sketch, it did look somewhat similar to Xia Jie.
"That's good. I don't know much about painting, but I can see that Jiajia paints well."
On the way out, Li Dawei told Zhou Chen the truth.
"I just said that there must be a big reason that makes a little girl afraid to go home, and it is most likely related to her stepfather. It seems that it is indeed the case."
"If you still dare to laugh at me, I will beat you to death."
"My master's daughter is only eighteen years old. My master did what he did yesterday because of her. So I must help my master and I can't let Jiajia learn bad things again."
Xia Jie was so frightened that she hurriedly withdrew her hand, hugged her clothes and ran back to the house.
"It's indeed Jiajia's business. Let me show you this first."
"What are you doing? Hit you."
"boom!"
There was a roar, followed by a fist as big as a casserole, hitting Yu Guang's nose. Blood flew and Yu Guang fell backwards.
